daystar-publications EDUCATION: The False Impression of “KNOWLEDGE!” It is deeply rooted in our society that the HIGHER the education, the BETTER you will be! Parents strive to give their children a brighter future by sending them to some of the best universities to give their children the opportunity to become a future success. But something comes with this “package” of success worldwide that no one was expecting [or WERE they?…]: STATUS! Such “status” may cause one to move up in rank and influence, gain higher prestige and admiration among others. What does that DO to a man or woman? And there comes with this an “assumption of knowledge” that is presumed upon those who have attained such “status” in the eyes of men. For instance, because a certain fellow may “BOAST” of his knowledge to “KNOW” Hebrew, Greek or Latin, his words and his conclusions become “creditable” in the eyes of men, do they not? But, what does God say? “It is BETTER to TRUST IN THE LORD than to put CONFIDENCE in man” (Psalm 118:8). WHY??? Jesus, when he observed that MANY believed in his name because THEY SAW the miracles which he did, “…DID NOT COMMIT HIMSELF unto them, because he KNEW ALL MEN [including you and me], “And needed not that any should testify of MAN [male or female]: for he KNEW WHAT WAS IN MAN” (John 2:23-25). Worldly education adds up to ONE BIG ZERO in the sight of God! Increased knowledge so easily becomes MANS STUMBLING-BLOCK because of his PRIDE, prohibiting man’s ability to HUMBLE HIMSELF! Very few humble themselves, like Nicodemus, when Jesus said, “Art thou a master of Israel, and KNOWEST NOT these things” (John 3:9)? Most people would have had their “INTELLIGENCE INSULTED, but Nicodemus humbled himself through submission, and he LEARNED! Man is a BOASTER! He will TAKE CREDIT for anything that will INFLATE HIM before others, and make himself to shine! When you look at the pictures of Facebook, what do they TELL YOU? What do they TEACH YOU about that individual? It simply comes NATURAL for mankind, just like their spiritual father, the Devil!!! If you don’t believe it, just wait for it, and let them SPEAK! More people speak about THEMSELVES IN CONVERSATION than anyone else! “Professing THEMSELVES to be WISE, they became FOOLS” (Romans 1:22). But God has ALREADY ASKED THE QUESTION: “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? HATH NOT GOD made FOOLISH the wisdom of this world” (1 Cor. 1:20)??? The answer is YES, but most men and women DON’T BELIEVE IT, because they have never been BORN OF THE SPIRIT, and because of that, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE in such a spiritual being! Jesus said, “…when He, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, He will GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH” (John 16:13). He CAME on the day of Pentecost, and He DOES GUIDE US, “…IF SO BE that the Spirit of God DWELL IN YOU. Now if any man HAVE NOT the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE OF HIS” (Romans 8:9)! This is a HARD PILL TO SWALLOW for members of RELIGION, seeing that MOST church members rely on their emotional experiences, and will defend them to the DEATH! Since after WE, true Christians, have HEARD the Word of Truth, and TRUSTED the gospel of OUR salvation, God said that “…after that [WE] believed, [WE ARE] SEALED with that Holy Spirit of promise” (Ephes. 1:13), “…SEALED unto the day of REDEMPTION” (Ephes. 4:30). Therefore, because we have the HOLY GHOST, we “…NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH [us]” (1 John 2:27)! Is it becoming CLEARER TO YOU, that after reading the Word of God here, just how many SERPENTS THERE ARE OUT THERE, preaching the gospel? Their lack of knowledge and rejection of the Holy Ghost is ALL prophesied to occur in these LAST DAYS, when men and women are “…HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, but DENYING THE POWER [which is the Holy Ghost] thereof” (2 Tim. 3:5). We are living in a day when MANY are strutting around, some in robes, others in pin-stripe suites, just like SELF-PROCLAIMED peacocks and PUTTING ON DISPLAY FOR ALL TO SEE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE, instead of the knowledge that comes from above! But God has said time and again, “…NOT MANY wise men AFTER THE FLESH [with their knowledge of languages; their universities they have graduated from; etc.], NOT MANY mighty, NOT MANY noble, are CALLED: but God HATH CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS of the world to CONFOUND [to shame down; to disgrace; to put to the blush] the wise” (1 Cor. 1:26-29)!!!
